"If we do not create the problem in the first place, we won't have a shot at solving it!"
Even if the battery lasts 8 years that would mean in a 10 year span that vehicle would use $32,000 (todays prices) in battery (energy). Plus all the kw used in the 10 years cost. There is no way that is cheaper than an ICE vehicle in the same time span. The cheaper or cost efficient argument holds zero water. An EV is not cheaper to own when you factor the battery into the equation.
Again, there are a multitude of 8+ year old Teslas running around on their factory battery still holding their value on Autotrader.
You're talking about a problem that isn't one and using that as justification. If every battery pack (of the millions in existance) shit the bed at 8 years, I'd agree with you. But that's not happening--not even close.
Creating problems is what we do. Tell me what society you live in that has none.
Thats deep, man.
So I'm understanding you, you use no items that require precious metals? You drive a model T and don't use TVs, cell phones, the internet, power, etc...?
What kind of dumbass would buy an 8 year old Tesla?
Lol not me but they're out there and they hold their value. To the point that it's not that much more expensive to buy a brand new one dependent on the age and model.
But people can spend their money how they wish.
EXACTLY what I was thinking, LOL
Imagine being so deluded that you compare your shitbox Tesla power wheels to a GT500 or a HellCat…
I wouldn’t compare them, the GT500 is more fun to drive, and it is meant for a road course where a Tesla would be out of its element. But the reality is, on the street, a Plaid will absolutely embarrass one. By about a train length.
It takes a GT500 1000rwhp+ to best a
Plaid. The Plaid hurts a lot of people’s feelings on the street, it’s about the same as a newer stock 1000CC bike to 170mph.

Happily dust his ass too. I’ll hot lap both power wheels back to back.
Did you wanna bring anyone else’s cars to race?
Sure, let's set it up. I'll be at VIR this fall and road Atlanta closer to winter.
Are you bringing Daddy's Plaid? or you plan on getting drug by yourself?
What dates?
Track Daze has an open event 1-3 SEP at VIR.
Working that weekend. So unless you wanna leave now and race me in Florida... We'll have to pick another date.

Imagine having a 04 Terminator Cobra EV and being on the 3rd battery pack for a total of $45,000.00 (prob way more) invested to keep it running and telling everyone how economical it is?
Its only 9 stops from Cincinnati. Imagine how many friends could be made at the chargers on the way! Think of the flowers!
I've never owned a car longer than two years. I've owned 19 in 20 years. Why would this be any different.
